In Kyiv Oblast, 16 people were killed and 29 others injured, the State Emergency Service (DSNS) reported as rescue operations were still underway. The town of Brovary, around 24 kilometers (15 miles) east of Kyiv, was particularly hard hit, not just by ballistic missiles, but also jet-powered Shahed-type drones. Days earlier, Ukraine managed to shoot down only one of 27 ballistic missiles on Aug. 1, citing shortages of air defense missiles, particularly U.S.-made Patriots. The unit, which is being deployed in the region bordering Ukraine's Luhansk Oblast, is believed to have six launchers and 120 ballistic missiles. Russian forces used North Korean KN-23 ballistic missiles to strike the village of Radushne, southeast of Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, on July 30.
